Lyrics
Woah They’re closing down this town tonight The hounds have been let loose The streets are filled with fire And the burning of old wounds Folks are so damn tired Of the same old front-page news Listen to the storm outside It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life Woah Listen to the storm outside It’s gonna blow the shame away My son please take care When you’re walking through the streets Ancient demons didn’t leave Seems the scene is on repeat Our suffering is meaningless We’re stuck with this disease I hate it but believe that they’re still hanging from the trees The strange fruits are overripe like souls beyond the grid Imagine what it means to send this message to your kids I guess I really can’t The second I pretend I put a dagger through their chest And feel like lying through my teeth My fellow men The only thing I can is to offer you my shoulder And to promise that I care And even if it takes just a splinter of that load Or adds a glimmer to the coal I want to mentally connect I have the highest of respect for those who don’t fire back with hate And inspire us with strength by fighting kind and with their heads Like a lion on its back Suppressed desire to attack The entire world can see it‘s time to finally react A silent scream shall flash and erupt the walls That have shaped your life People, It must be done The columns shall break, but here is the clue All lives don’t matter until black lives do Listen to the storm outside It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life Woah Listen to the storm outside It’s gonna blow the shame away And can you tell me How many hearts must break? And lives must it take? Why does the colour of your skin Decide who lives and dies? Who gains and who’s denied? My history’s steeped in sin It’s steeped in sin Its ugly face is here again Woah Woah Listen to the storm outside (how many hearts must break?) It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life (And lives must it take?) Woah Listen to the storm outside It’s gonna blow the shame away (Why does the colour of your skin) Listen to the storm outside (decide who lives and dies?) It’s tearing down the walls which have shaped your life (Who gains and who’s denied?) Woah Listen to the storm outside (my history’s steeped in sin) It’s gonna blow the shame away
